A friend of mine was attacked by a foaming-at-the-mouth Obama supporter at a gas station yesterday morning. Said friend is religious, Republican, as good-natured as they come, and a strapping lad (in his mid-40's but who's counting). I still can't believe anyone was so stupid to start something like that, but politics does weird things to your brain, I guess. Said Obama supporter was arrested at the scene after getting a mild beat-down.

That is an awesome story, T-bone.
Pissing me off, from last night, are people that organize 5:30-8pm events on a week night, and provide shit like a few platters of salmon mousse on a cucumber slice. If you're going to keep my in mid-town over the dinner hour on a week night feed me you fucking cheap so and sos!

Wow! I've run into quite a few political zealots lately, but nothing this extreme. I want this election to be OVER.

I'm one of those people who sneeze in response to bright light. Sometimes when the sun comes out from behind the clouds, I'll sneeze seven or eight times in a row. It's a great feeling. Irregardless, when I am somewhere other than my home, I can usually prevent the execution of the sneeze mechanism.

Also, it does seem odd when people say "bless you." I do not need the Lord's help to persevere after a sneeze.

If you think something is boring, try doing it for two minutes. If you still think it's boring, try it for four. If you still think it's boring, try it for eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and so on and so forth. Soon enough you'll find that it's really not boring at all. John Cage

It also is odd to me when people say, "have a blessed day" as you're leaving or saying good bye.

How are you supposed to respond to that one? Do you say "yeah, okay."? Or do you run with the religious theme?: "None of us can take the Lord's grace for granted. We can only hope."

If I am trying to discourage someone from the whole "bless you" thing I always say, "Please. No pagan invocations for me."

I get that, because there's never a bad time to take a dig at religion, and moments when people are simply trying to offer a pleasantry are actually the best opportunity to pick on it.

Is it not rather presumptuous and Christo-centric to assume I would assume welcome such things? Also, as a godless socialist out to wage a war on Xtianity, I am programed to do such things.

you actually have to be apart of a jury at one point or another in U.S.A.? Fuck that.

Hard to guarantee a trial by a jury of peers if your peers are too busy to volunteer for jury duty.

I've always wanted to do it...but the only time I got called, I sat in a waiting room for a day or maybe two and then got sent home and told to not bother calling in (jury duty in MN is for a week plus a second week of "on-call" time).

Christianity isn't the only religion that blesses people (though I understand the history of "bless you" is tied to Christianity). My point was just that I don't see any reason to have a clever anti-religion comeback in the first place. I understand that you don't want to be pushed around by religion, but "bless you" isn't exactly evangelizing. Why not just accept it as someone simply being polite, rather than take it as an opportunity to make sure everyone knows how clever and anti-god you are?

Plus, your "socialist" argument falls flat. Everyone knows Christ was a socialist. Well, everyone except for the people who seem to think he was a fascist who'd want them to make the government take away all of our fun.
